Imagine getting married in an intimate way in a country estate like this one in Santa Barbara, California. Just a private family affair of 30–parents, siblings, and close friends. A luscious green garden lined with candles and rustic country flowers surrounded by the warmth of good wishers. This is what Matthew & Natalie did for their Wedding Day! They had their families stay at this beautiful country estate, Ravenscroft in Montecito, where they celebrated the Special Day in a Special Way.
